Hello, Friends A healthy church must not be based on the generosity of the few; but, it must be based on the sacrifice of all! Throughout history there have been those revered as kings and yet their actions were less than noble. At the same time there have always been those who were held in little esteem and yet their actions were kingly. The Holy Word reveals that a righteous remnant, usually unnoticed by the masses, has always existed on the earth and the God of the universe uses them to His o...
Hello, Friends Man's original occupation was to work the soil. The creation has been subjected to frustration and in many ways seems to resist cultivation for productive growth. While society has changed a great deal from the primitive agricultural structures of the ancient world, much has stayed exactly the same. Mankind has a responsibility to work the soil of his heart. Like the creation our base nature is corrupted and resists this cultivation towards growth and life, but we must examine our...
Hello, Friends How many times following a tragedy have you heard the words, "How could God let this happen?". Mankind has often leveled this charge against God, but very few have been as bold about it as Job. Job literally invited the God of the universe to come down and check out what was happening in the creation by asserting that God was indifferent and incapable seeing through "eyes of flesh". The resulting encounter changed the world forever. We pray that you are blessed as you learn of the...
Hello, Friends When a young person suffers an injury or death our hearts grieve for many reasons, but near the top of the list is that the young person may never achieve all of their potential. We feel an innate sense of loss because the person may have been the next scientist, doctor, or composer to contribute something extraordinary to society. It feels as if something were stolen from us! Wade Sutherland explores this concept as he communicates the cry of his heart in this message. Wade's pro...
Hello, Friends On his 33rd birthday, Pastor Stephens delivered this inspiring message. Born two and half months early and barely two pounds, Eric relates how God had mercy on him because of his mother's longing for something better than the life she was living. This sermon is a message of hope for those who feel trapped by circumstance and overcome by their own history. We pray that you find the courage to ask Jesus for a new start, new way of life, and new future! Pay careful attention as you h...
Hello, Friends The Biblical account of the Exodus is without question one of the most remarkable events recorded in human history. Writing nearly 1600 years after the event a Hebrew Apostle named Paul told the community of believers at Corinth that those things happened as examples for us! This message examines the manner in which God dealt with Pharaoh and the manner in which Pharaoh dealt with Moses in order to learn from their examples. It is our heartfelt prayer that you are blessed by this ...
Hello, Friends Before there were kings ruling in Israel and before the arrival of the mighty prophets, there was a humble woman who dared to cry out to Yahweh in her grief. The story of Hannah in the Bible is an amazing journey into the yearning heart of a broken woman that found her dreams fulfilled by being selfless. Hannah's story will teach you how to deal appropriately with a downcast spirit. Additionally, her life will inspire you to ask for and receive truly heavenly blessings. We pray th...
Hello, Friends Nicholas Slaughter is one of those young men that you can see the Lord's hand on. His zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord is refreshing. Listen as he shares his heart on the subject of being Transformed. He drew heavily from his own experiences with the Lord and was honest in a way rarely seen from popular pulpits. We pray that his life will bless you as he shares his heart with you in this outstanding message. We will all look forward to more exciting things from this young man in t...
Hello, Friends Seemingly ordinary men who possessed extraordinary dreams have been responsible for shaping the world in which we live. Each of these men were fallible and flawed, yet the God of the universe chose them to accomplish His work on earth. This message is an exhortation to the imperfect human race to participate in the perfect vision that God has for each of us and our planet. We pray that you would endeavor to receive big dreams from God and then embark on the noble task of becoming ...
Hello, Friends. Christians during different time periods and in different places have held various views on appropriate imagery for Christians at Christmas. Ironically, many of the most widely accepted religious ideas and imagery associated with Christmas are wholly inaccurate or even unbiblical while those that are often less acceptable among Christians are in fact substantially more in line with scriptural practices. This message examines how Constantinian Christianity has given us misconcepti...
Hello, Friends In the shipping industry a manifest is used to declare the contents of a particular vessel. Similarly, one of the ways the Holy Spirit declares Himself to be in the Church and in the lives of believers is by the manifestation of His presence through the spiritual gifts. This message urges believers to embrace the fullness of Christianity through Baptism in God's Holy Spirit. As you listen to this message, we pray that you would have a sense of expectancy. During its original prese...
Hello, Friends Only eight people survived the global deluge of the ancient world. The flood was amazing grace for a remnant and awesome judgment for the majority. Later, two peoples entered the Red Sea. The waters were saving for one nation and judging for another. We invite you to consider both the kindness and sternness of Yahweh God as you listen to this message on baptism. It is our hope that you will join the members of God

Hello, Friends What is the difference between a butcher and a surgeon? They both have special attire and are equipped with special cutting instruments. Upon examination, you find that one cuts you for selfish purposes wanting to benefit from the use of your flesh and eventual death. While the other only cuts you to heal you and has your health and quality of life as his motivating interests. The butcher comes to Kill and the surgeon comes to Heal. This message explores the various uses of divisi...
Hello, Friends Ever since men began to explore the oceans Eingericht bottles have existed. The name for these bottles means: bottles with life inside and impossible bottles. You may be familiar with them as simply, a ship in a bottle. When observing them you seldom marvel at the container but instead wonder how the creator managed to fit his work inside of the bottle. Believers share much in common with Eingericht bottles. We have a message within us that defies understanding and causes others t...
Hello, Friends Olives are one of the most durable crops found in Israel. In ancient times they were used for everything from anointing oil to food. This message delves into the Hebraic associations with the Olive tree and its fruit during older and newer testament periods. Additionally, the major differences between Hebraic and Hellenistic thoughts are covered as they relate to properly interpreting the Holy Word. Looking introspectively we can all agree that the most revealing times in our live...
Hello, Friends In 1998, I had the opportunity to stand in the ruins of Bet Shen for the first time. The ancient city in Israel has been remarkably restored and it features a coliseum and a marble laden street through the center of town. The Greeks called the street a "Cardo". While standing on the "Cardo" noticing that its distributaries provided access to every area of the city, Jesus began to speak to me about the importance of guarding our hearts against pollution from the enemy. This message...
Hello, Friends A wooden post and a tree are largely the same in substance, but over time the difference becomes very obvious. Anything that is truly alive will produce growth as evidenced by change. Many Christians have fallen into the trap of believing that being “saved” is all that they need to be concerned with in the Kingdom of God. The early followers of Yeshua had dynamic evolving spiritual lives that illustrate a completely different paradigm. This message urges believers to consider the ...
Hello, Friends In 1993, I realized that I was living in a prison that my own actions had built. I saw No Way Out and felt incapable of bringing about a lasting change. In the midst of this dismal situation, Yeshua came to my rescue. The Hebrew Scriptures clearly display God as one who makes a way through impassable obstacles for those who cry out to Him. This message utilizes the memoirs of the Hebrew Apostle Matthew to instruct believers in the proper use of Forcefulness in our lives. Furthermo...
Hello, Friends Krav Maga is an Israeli fighting system that assumes no quarter and emphasizes maximum threat neutralization in realistic situations. It is based on the concept of Retzev which means continuous combat motion. While Yeshua's followers do not wage war as the world does we do have weaponry. Like Krav Maga our warfare does not take place in protected quarters and it neutralizes threats in real-life situations. This message draws from the Hebrew peoples' dealings with Adonai Bezek and ...
Hello, Friends Discontented is not usually a descriptive term that a believer would want applied to them. However, nearly 1000 years before Yeshua lived in Israel, there was a man that the Scripture says was destined to be a King and yet was considered a criminal. Further complicating things, he did not associate with royalty but with sinners that desired to rebel against the tyranny of their present ruler. The tyrant, in whose dominion this man lived, pursued him with the intent to destroy both...
Hello, Friends We live at a time when people are rarely willing to wait for anything. We order at one window and expect to pick up at the next. With next day delivery and 30 minutes or it's free type expectations it is easy to become frustrated with God. His Kingdom is not built upon instant gratification, but rather upon TRUST. One of the tests in determining your perceived value of an event, thing, or experience is your willingness to wait for it without deviation. This message encourages beli...
Hello, Friends Few books of the Bible are read, sung about, and quoted with the frequency of the Psalms. Their content is replete with human emotion and frailty that all illustrates the necessity of reliance and trust in God. They bridge the gap between the doctrines of the ancient believers and the way they lived. Perhaps this is why so many modern believers have strongly identified with particular Psalms, such as Psalm 23, during difficult events in their lives. This message covers Psalm 1 in ...
Hello, Friends Scientists have calculated that the closest star to the earth, other than the sun, is Alpha Centauri. Even at the amazing speed of light, which travels 187,000 miles every second, it would still take over four years to travel the 24 trillion mile distance. When considering the enormity of this distance, it should be noted that scientist also say the average galaxy contains 200 million stars and there are an estimated 50 billion galaxies. The creation is immense beyond description ...
Hello, Friends Merriam Webster's dictionary defines restoration in two ways. The first is: bringing something back to a former condition, an unimpaired condition, or an improved condition. The second definition refers to the re-establishment of a monarchy. Each of these definitions is pertinent to the study of Yahweh God. Even a cursory overview of the Scriptures reveals that our King is in the Restoring business. Lastly, the word "ultimatum" is defined as a final proposition, condition, or dema...
Hello, Friends Feelings of joy from love that is reciprocated and conversely feelings of pain from unfaithfulness are among the most powerful emotions that human beings can feel. It is not then a coincidence that the Hebrew Scriptures paint vivid emotional images of mankind's relationship with God as that of a groom and bride. This message explores ancient Jewish Wedding rights and the way they illuminate the words of Jesus. Learning about the proposal language, chuppah, and ketubah will change ...
Hello, Friends Gilgal and Jericho are cities that date to antiquity within Israel. The events that took place at their locations during the conquest of Canaan are both amazing and insightful. This message draws parallels between the crossing of the Jordan, circumcision at Gilgal, and battle of Jericho with the salvation experience of believers. The message was delivered on Father's Day and a baptismal service. The service was preceded by special testimonies and songs so the length of the message...
